After leaving home, four years at University, a first job which had lasted a surprising 15 years, and a series of enjoyable but ultimately short lived relationships, I had moved back to within 20 miles of where I had been brought up. I had a new job which I enjoyed, and was starting to join the local community, enrolling in various local activities.
It was at a family event, my parent’s silver wedding, that I met my Aunt Susan again. There had been occasional contact with her, her husband and their young daughter Jane, from time to time, but being away from the area, I hadn’t really spent much time with them since I was young, when Aunt Susan would visit for the odd weekend. I had always looked forward to those weekends, as she took the trouble to talk with me and my brother, and took us to have tea in a local café.
I was busy with the event organisation and had little time for the family. Then it was time to get dressed up and go to greet my parents as they arrived in the taxi from their home. They had organised the seating plan, and had put all the close family on a top table. I ushered them into the hotel, showed them where they would be sitting in the private dining room, and then took them back to the bar. There were so many people that my parents knew that conversation flowed as easily as the champagne. Then the Maitre’D announced that dinner would be served, and we made our way to our seats.
As I sat down, I was aware that the two seats next to mine were vacant, and peering at the place name cards found that they were for Aunt Susan and her daughter Jane. My Mum looked at the gap, and said that this was just typical of Susan, late as ever.
Just as the waiters were about to remove the empty plates of the starter, the doors opened and in a flurry, my Aunt and her daughter burst in. Frantically apologising to my parents, they sat down.
I was taken aback. My Aunt looked about 40, and a very fit 40 at that, though she must have been 10 years older. Her daughter, Jane, at 18 looked like 25, so together they made a gorgeous pair. And just as I had remembered, they both had gorgeous pairs, but my eyes were really only for my Aunt. Tall and still slim, she was dressed in a figure hugging evening dress, the swell of her breasts somehow barely covered by the silky material.
She looked very different to me from the cuddly weekend guest that I remembered from my youth, or even the disorganised mother with her young daughter that I had occasionally met since. Looking at her, a whole range of indecent thoughts came into my mind, and just stuck there.
Jane was quiet and reserved, said little during the meal, which surprised me, as I had seen her reasonably often in the last year, since she had started at University close to where I had previously lived. I think she had enjoyed knowing someone nearby, whilst she found her feet in a whole new environment. She normally was quite chatty, but maybe that night she was a bit over-awed by the number of older people, or maybe her nose was a bit out of joint because of the way her mother looked.
While Aunt Susan and I chatted about the intervening years, I talked about my job now and why I had moved back. She said it was a shame as Jane had valued me being around, but then laughed and said it was probably better that she was with her own age group. I pretended to be offended, saying that I wasn’t that old, but she laughed and said, no, I had grown up very well.
As the meal ended, I made a short speech and toast to my parents, and then a short list of family and friends gave accolades and anecdotes about the influence that they had had upon their lives. Susan was the last to speak, and simply said that my mother had been both big sister and surrogate mother, and whilst she felt that she hadn’t always been the person my mother would have liked her to be, she had gained many of her life values from her, and that she wouldn’t be the person she was today without her influence. This was the cue for tears and sniffles, and as I held out my handkerchief for Susan as she sat down, I told her that I was surprised about her seeing my mother as a surrogate, as I knew she had lived with my grandmother for many years. She related the story of their early lives, sketching in the hints and odd images that I had gleaned from my mother. She told me that she had been “a bit wild”, and though not into drugs, had worried my mother sick with a succession of very unsuitable boyfriends. As she said “unsuitable”, she giggled, but I could see a far away look in her eyes. This was a side of Aunt Susan that I had not seen before, nor suspected. I told her that I would liove to know more, so we should not lose contact now that I was living closer. As we parted that evening, I knew that she had warmed to me as the evening went on, and as I moved to kiss her cheek, somehow it turned out to be a short proper kiss, at which she giggled even more. I was spellbound, she was one sexy woman, to be sure.
I had a call from her one evening a week later, and she invited me round , but said that she hoped I wouldn’t mind if she asked me to help her clean her pool, so to bring suitable clothing. I didn’t know she had a pool, and as it was summer, it needed to be in working order, so I agreed. In any case, any chance of seeing her in a swimming costume sounded good to me.
Fortunately it was a fine day, one of those lovely early August days with fluffy clouds and a light breeze keeping the humidity down. I arrived mid-afternoon, and got to work, having put my swimming trunks on under my jeans, and soon had the pool looking sparkling again. I jumped in and swam around, and called my Aunt to come and join me. She refused at first, but after a little more pleading flounced out saying “all, right, if it will make you happy”.
The sight of her certainly made me happy, and a whole lot more. She looked fantastic, in a very sexy bikini, showing off her still slim figure , her gorgeous breasts and pert bum.
“Wow”, I said, “You don’t look like an Auntie to me”. “Careful…”, she said, and dived in.
After the swim, and over a coffee, we talked more about each other’s lives. I found that difficult as I couldn’t take my eyes off her, and I am sure that my hardening cock must have been obvious to her. I dared not move for risk of showing her just how stiff it had become.
“Never married, did you?”, Susan said, “I was for nearly 15 years, but I was so stifled, I wanted my freedom, and have been enjoying it ever since he finally went.
